Which option is correct for conduction of nerve impulse along chemical synapse? i. At synapse, the membranes of the pre and postsynaptic neurons are separated by a fluid-filled space called synaptic cleft ii. Chemicals called neurotransmitters are incolved in the transmission of impulses at these synapses iii. The axom terminals contain vesicles filled with these neurotransmitters iv. When an impulse arrives at the axon terminal, synaptic vesicles release their neurotransmitters in the synaptic cleft. v. The release neurotransmitters bind to their specific receptors, present on the pre-synaptic membrane. vi. Opens ion channels allowing the entry of ions which can generate a new potential in the postsynaptic neuron vii. The new potential developed is only excitatory

The given diagram shows axon terminal.Select the option that correctly matches the steps in transmission of impulses (list i-vii) with the labellings (A-C) in diagram. (i)Chemicals called neurotransmitters are released in the synaptic cleft through ion channels. (ii)When an impulse arrives at the axon terminal, it stimulates the movement of synaptic vesicles. (iii)Neurotransmitters are endocytosed into the neurons. (iv)The ions channels close with the binding of neurotransmitters to their specific receptors vesicles. (v)Synaptic vesicles move towards the membrane where they fuse with the plasma membrane. (vi)Neurotransmitters are released in the synaptic cleft. (vii)The released transmitters bind to their specific receptors on post-synaptic membrane

The steps involved in the mechanism of muscle contraction are given below. Arrange the steps in proper sequential order and select the correct option. I. Release of calcium ions in the sarcoplasm. II. Signal sent by the CNS via a motor neuron. III. Binding of calcium with a subunit of troponin on actin filaments. IV. Generation of the action potential in the sarcolemma. V. Binding of myosin head to the exposed active sites on actin to form a cross-bridge. VI. Inward pulling of ‘Z’ line attached to actin causing shortening of the sarcomere. VII. Pulling of the attached actin filaments towards the centre of 'A' band. VIII. Release of neurotransmitter acetylcholine and generation of the action potential in the sarcolemma.

A list of events occurring in the transmission of nerve impulse across the synapse is given below in a random order (i)Opening of specific ion channels allows the entry of ions, a new action potential is generated in the post-synaptic neuron. (ii)Neurotransmitter binds to the receptor on post synaptic membrane. (iii)Synaptic vesicle fuses with pre-synaptic membrane, neurotransmitter release into synaptic cleft. (iv)Depolarisation of pre-synaptic membrane. (v)Arrival of action potential at axon terminal. Which of the following options represents these events in a correct order ?

Which statements are incorrect for mechanism of nerve impulse conduction along electrical junctions of nerous or electrical synapse? i Nerve impulse flow directly from one neuron to other across the synapses in electrical synapses ii. Transmission of an impulse across electrical synapses is very similar to impulse conduction along a single axon iii. Impulse transmission across an elecetrical synapse is always faster than that across a chemical synapse. iv. Electrical synapses are rare in our system v. At an electrical synapse, the membranes of the pre and post-synaptic neurous are separated by a fluid-filled space called synaptic cleft is thick. vi. Chemicals called neurotransmitters are involved in the transmission of impulses at this synapse

Which of the following statements regarding impulse transmission is incorrect ? I . Chemicals called neurotransmitters are involved in impulse transmission across the synapses. II. The membranes of the pre - synaptic and post - synaptic neuron are separated by an empty space called the synaptic cleft. III. The released neurotransmitters bind to the specific receptors present on the pre - synaptic membrane. IV. The new potential which develops is always excitatory.

The chemicals used to treat diseases and to reduce the suffering from pain are known as drugs or medicines. The chemicals used in chemotherapy are classified according to their action. For example antipyretics are medicines used to lower the body temperature in high fever. The examples of antipyretics are para ethoxy acetamide and analgin. Analgesics are medicines which relieve pain. They are of two types. (i) Narcotics are medicines which relieve pain by producing sleep and unconsciousness. They are morphine, morphine diacetate (heroin) and codeine. They are habit forming (ii) None narcotic analgesics are not habit forming and do not usually induce sleep. They are aspirin, brufen and butazolidine. Antiseptics are medicines which kill or prevent the growth of micro-organisms. Antiseptics are also used to reduce odours arising out of bacterial decomposition on the surface of the body. They are 2% solution of phenol, dettol (a solution of terpineol and chloro-xylenol) savlon, bithional etc. Tranquillizers are medicine used to relieve mental tension and an anxiety. They act on the nervous system and induce sleep. They may antidepressants (to elevate mood) such as methedrine and vitalin, sedatives (relieve mental agitation and violence) such as diazopam, seconal, luminal and equanil. Antibiotics are medicines produced by micro-organisms such as fungi, bacteria and moulds and are used to kill other microorganisms. They are penicillin (Treat sore throat, bronchitis, pneumonia), streptomycin (active aginst tuberclosis, chloramphenicol treat typhoid, acute fever, urinary infection. Aspirin :
